Hello Martin;

    First, let me say, in jest of course, be careful what you wish for.
    But really, I see your point.  I understand the value of a fresh
    perspective. That's not where my problem is.  It's with those whose
    perspective isn't really fresh, just a re-hash of everybody else's
    contributions. I say that these people have forgotten whose pockets
    they have picked. And those aren't the worst. Far more problematic
    are those individuals who can't seem to defer to anybody else's
    expertise if they themselves don't have same. That's the only way I
    can describe it, awkward as that phrase seems. They are unable to
    trust, so they think that you have ulterior motives when you try to
    point out that something can't or shouldn't be done the way they
    think it should. And by the way, that upfront fee I spoke of is a
    deposit, applied to any future services. I don't mean to discourage
    anyone from their creative urges.  Here's a parallel I hope
    describes my situation: I can be the equivalent of a voice coach, but
    I am not the venture capitalist who is going to finance their singing
    career.
